《1580-1837 年家庭重建中的英国人口史》是自瑞格利和斯科菲尔德的《英格兰人口史》以来对英国历史人口学最重要的贡献。它代表了剑桥人口和社会结构史小组过去四分之一个世纪所做工作的顶峰。这项工作证明了家庭重建技术作为获取过去生育、道德和婚姻的准确而详细信息的一种手段的价值。事实上，现在人们对教区登记时期英国人口统计的许多方面的了解，比 1837 年之后总登记官收集和发布信息的时期要多。作者利用 26 个教区的数据清楚地表明，他们的结果不仅代表了数据来源教区的人口状况，而且代表了整个国家的人口状况。过去人类行为的一些非常令人惊讶的特征首次被揭露。
English Population History from Family Reconstitution 1580-1837 is the most important single contribution to English historical demography since Wrigley and Schofield's Population History of England. It represents the culmination of work carried out at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure over the past quarter-century. This work demonstrates the value of the technique of family reconstitution as a means of obtaining accurate and detailed information about fertility, morality, and nuptiality in the past. Indeed, more is now known about many aspects of English demography in the parish register period than about the post-1837 period when the Registrar-General collected and published information. Using data from 26 parishes, the authors show clearly that their results are representative not only of the demographic situation of the parishes from which the data were drawn, but also of the country as a whole. Some very surprising features of the behaviour of past populations are brought to light for the first time.
